Abstract
Midlife hypertension is associated with higher dementia risk.1-3 Blood pressure (BP) lowering may decrease dementia risk.4,5 However, the association between BP and dementia remains poorly understood. With older age, this association seems to dissipate or even reverse, and individuals with hypertension have lower dementia risk.6 Investigating BP fluctuation may help elucidate this association.7Keywords
